SUMMARY:Celebrating Arlene Torres: Honoring a Legacy of Education
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating Dr. Arlene Torres\, retiring associate professor in Africana\, Puerto Rican and Latino Studies (AFPRL) at Hunter College. Dr. Torres has had a rich career and leaves behind a lasting legacy. \n\n\n\nBefore her time in the AFPRL department at Hunter College\, she served as University Dean of Recruitment and Diversity and the Director of the Chancellor’s Latino Faculty Initiative in Academic Affairs in the CUNY Central Administration. Dr. Torres is a cultural anthropologist with expertise in Caribbean\, Latina/Latino and Latin American Studies. Early on her scholarly work on the Americas and the Caribbean archipelago prompted her to study the impact of social inequality structurally and relationally over the long durée of history. Her groundbreaking edited volume\, Blackness in Latin America and the Caribbean (with Norman E. Whitten\, Jr.)\, is widely regarded in Latin American and Latinx Studies. Dr. Torres has mentored dozens of undergraduate and graduate students\, in addition to junior and midcareer faculty\, throughout the country. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMissed this event?
